Task Description:(T)
You are no longer at Russell Elementary. This is no longer a gym. You are now at Radio City Music Hall and it is your job to create a dance. You are choreographers! This dance is called The Action Word Dance and it is your mission to create the most exciting and interesting dance you can. You will then be performing your creation with a partner for the most important people at your work: your teachers, principals, guidance councilors, and fellow classmates. Excite them!
This dance will need to consist of four action words. Action words are also known as verbs and you will be choosing from a list of 200 the words that you and your partner like the best. The words you chose should be fun, interesting, and different. It will be your job to demonstrate these words through movement. There will be no speaking. Let your body speak for you.
Not only will you be performing your dance for the audience. You will also be demonstrating how two people can work with each other. The dance will reflect the hard work of you and your partner helping each other. You and your partner will be collaborating and respecting the opinions of each other.
Before you perform this dance, like any great work, you will be introducing your dance to the audience. Then at the end, there will be a question and answer period. It will be your job to be confident and speak clearly to your audience.
Let the dancing begin!
